Distributing Drag-and-Drop Applications You can distribute and install self-contained (drag-and-drop) applications by copying them to one or more client computers. Use this approach, for example, to distribute application updates. Verifying Installations To check whether an installation has been completed successfully, use Apple Remote Desktop's remote control capabilities. For example, you can start an application remotely, or search for particular files. You can also use the File Search report to verify that all files for an application are installed correctly. Taking Inventory Apple Remote Desktop lets you capture data describing the attributes of client computers, then generate reports based on the data. You specify how often you want to capture data, the data you want to capture, and the computers you want to profile. You can collect data just before generating a report if you need up-to-the-minute information. Or you can schedule data to be collected by Apple Remote Desktop at regular intervals and stored in its built-in SQL (Structured Query Language) database for use on an as-needed basis. 18 Chapter 1 Using Apple Remote Desktop
